    Trump correctly noted that foreign policy, immigration, and crime are among his stronger topics, as he’s scored a -9.6, -3.7, and even, respectively, per RealClearPolling’s aggregates.

    Folks, they were definitely the best numbers ever in Donald’s living memory, which has a capacity of 30 seconds.

    I am once again begging people to not post headlines that start with “Trump, 79,” that doesn’t end with. Well. You know.

    Does anyone know where these ratings come from? I don’t care because I don’t know I just want to check if there’s something worth caring about?

      It depends on which source is posting them. Ideally they come from a representative sampling of the general population. In practice they’re skewed either because of how they field the survey (i.e. calling landlines) or the universe they poll (i.e. Fox News watchers)

    "I have the best approval ratings anyone ever had. Even better than Kim Jong-Un who has an approval rating of 100%, I have an approval rating of 120%, 150%, 1200%, 20000%. It’s amazing because it’s true. Yesterday I was called by the Nobel committee, they were crying and told me they made the biggest mistake of their lives, they said ‘Mr president, how can we correct our mistake, we are so stupid, we are so dumb’ and I said yes you are, make a new Nobel prize called ‘the best person who ever lived’ and they will and give it to me. Putin called me, Xi called me, they asked me 'Mr president, you are doing so well, you are so amazing, would you like to be president of our countries too, would you be world president? And I said yes. The pope called me, he said God wasn’t worthy anymore, he asked me if the church could replace all instances of Jesus with images of me, and if I would want to be pope pharaoh as I am the only person in the world who is better than God. And I said yes. My approval ratings are ‘one hundred million dollars’ and I’m going to build a laser on the moon, it’s amazing, it’s true. "

        Sadly the line between satire and reality is way too thin these days. And with “too thin” I mean mostly non existent.

        It is real. It’s the most real thing that’s ever, it’s amazing. Trump called me, he said SippyCup I need your help, the whole world needs to hear this but nobody believes it, it’s so unbelievable. And I said don’t worry Mr President, I’ll handle it. I’ll tell them and he said oh My God thank you so much. You’re so amazing. You’re the only person in the world I can trust with this. It’s true

      I didn’t misread the title, but I do find it interesting the author feels his age is relevant to the story. I’m all for pointing out that he’s old as fuck though.

    Next time you see him live on TV, or you read something he just wrote, remember this: That’s him at his best. And he’s never going to be that good again.

    Because he’s noticeably demented, and it’s progressing. He may have good days, and he may have bad days, but what those two types of days have in common is that they’re only going to get worse.

    He’s already rambling, and sometimes incoherently at that. But the stew he has between his ears will keep degrading to the point where coherence will be a vague memory from his campaign trail.

    Now, that’s the good news.

    The bad news? Stephen Fucking Miller is the de-facto president until 2029 because we all know the couch fucker is too chicken shit to invoke the 25th.
